Pirates Strike Back
Dead Man’s Chest is The Empire Strikes Back. With a kraken. Unfortunately, the kraken isn’t nearly as impressive as the one in Tamora Pierce’s Wild Magic, which was much larger and sentient.
Overall, the movie wasn’t as tight as the original and I wished it hadn’t leaned so hard on rehashed jokes. I did enjoy it overall, especially when it went deeper into character chemistry that was only hinted at in the original. Great cliffhanger ending, too. Looking forward to the third one, which should be completely insane. Hopefully in a good way.
